I prefer to use an old card because its plastic, traditionally scrapers are metal which can scratch your plates. Also I have found the plastic card can scrape across the plate closer than a metal one which means a cleaner image. Any guesses as to what card I am using here?

Then quickly roll the stamper over the image, you don't have to press too hard for this

Roll over the nail to transfer the image

Polish: Accesorize - Aztec

Tips

- Use pure acetone on a cotton wool ball to clean the stamp and the plate. Pure acetone dries quickly which is why I recommend it, if you use standard polish remover then dry the plate surface before re-stamping

- Rolling the stamper over the plate and the nail helps to lift and lay down the pattern

- Use a top coat before stamping, once it is dry it means if you make a mistake you can remove it without damaging the polish underneath

- Use a top coat after stamping as the stamping polish can look matte and come off without it
